       4. The method of  claim 1  wherein assigning the respective risk index value to each of the plurality of devices includes receiving user input and assigning the respective risk index value to at least one of the plurality of devices based on the user input. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 4  further comprising:
 validating the user input prior to storing the respective risk index value of the at least one of the plurality of devices in the memory device by comparing the user input to a traditional risk index value for the at least one of the plurality of devices; and 
 when the user input fails to match the traditional risk index value for the at least one of the plurality of devices, transmitting a second notification message indicative of the user input failing to match the traditional risk index value for the at least one of the plurality of devices. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 identifying respective times that each of the some of the plurality of devices is in fault; and 
 identifying the default recipient and the default communication medium using the respective time that each of the some of the plurality of devices is in fault. 
 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 identifying a restoral of service of one of the plurality of devices; and 
 transmitting a second notification message indicative of instructions for post-service restoral maintenance. 
 
     
     
       8. A system comprising:
 a transceiver device; 
 a memory device; 
 a programmable processor; and 
 executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, 
 wherein the transceiver device communicates with a plurality of devices, 
 wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software assign respective a respective risk index value to each of the plurality of devices and store the respective risk index value of each of the plurality of devices in the memory device, 
 wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software detect some of the plurality of devices as in fault, retrieve, from the memory device, the respective risk index value of each of the some of the plurality of devices, prioritize respective faults of the some of the plurality of devices based on the respective risk index value of each of the some of the plurality of devices, identify a default recipient and a default communication medium, and determine whether associated levels of the default recipient and the default communication medium are appropriate or inappropriate for a highest respective risk index value of the some of the plurality of devices, 
 wherein, when the associated levels are inappropriate, the programmable processor and the executable control software escalate or de-escalate the default recipient and the default communication medium to a second recipient and a second communication medium appropriate for the highest respective risk index value of the some of plurality of devices and transmit a first notification message indicative of the respective faults of the some of the plurality of devices as prioritized to the second recipient using the second communication medium, and 
 wherein, when the associated levels are appropriate, the programmable processor and the executable control software transmit the first notification message indicative of the respective faults of the some of the plurality of devices as prioritized to the default recipient using the default communication medium. 
 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 8  wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify a respective location of each the plurality of devices and assign the respective risk index value to each of the plurality of devices based on the respective location. 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 8  wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software assigning the respective risk index value to each of the plurality of devices includes the programmable processor and the executable control software identifying respective assets protected by each of the plurality of devices and identifying respective liability values of the respective assets protected by each of the plurality of devices. 
     
     
       11. The system of  claim 8  further comprising:
 a user interface device, 
 wherein the user interface device receives user input, and 
 wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software assign the respective risk index value to at least one of the plurality of devices based on the user input. 
 
     
     
       12. The system of  claim 11  wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software validate the user input prior to storing the respective risk index value of the at least one of the plurality of devices in the memory device by comparing the user input to a traditional risk index value for the at least one of the plurality of devices, and when the user input fails to match the traditional risk index value for the at least one of the plurality of devices, transmit a second notification message indicative of the user input failing to match the traditional risk index value for the at least one of the plurality of devices. 
     
     
       13. The system of  claim 11  wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software transmit the first notification message by displaying the first notification message on the user interface device. 
     
     
       14. The system of  claim 8  wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software transmit the first notification message via the transceiver device. 
     
     
       15. The system of  claim 8  wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify respective times that each of the some of the plurality of devices is in fault and identify the default recipient and the default communication medium using the respective time that each of the some of the plurality of devices is in fault.
